The perfect post to put perspective on international transgender day and the erosion of Christian rights in the face of the LGBT movement. “The Last Closet” was written by Moira Greyland. She’s the daughter of Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of “The Mists of Avalon” and Walter Breen. It is Marion Bradley’s book from which the book title is drawn. “The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon” is equal parts autobiography and true-crime thriller with a tragic sprinkling of the history of science fiction fandom mixed in. Moira’s book includes large sections of horrifying personal stories, but she has gone...

Wisconsin's Supreme Court is striking down Gov. Tony Evers' statewide face mask mandate. The 4-3 ruling was issued in a 78-page decision Wednesday morning. Republican lawmakers filed suit in October on the mandate. They said the governor did not have the authority to extend the state's public health emergency beyond 60 days without approval from the legislature. The majority of justices agreed.

(CNN)If you think herd immunity is the finish line to this pandemic, it's time for a reality check. Herd immunity with Covid-19 could come and go, scientists say. Or we might never reach it at all. "There's a lot of things that have to go our way to actually get to herd immunity," said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. But don't panic. Here's why it's possible to dip in and out of herd immunity, and what you can do now to maximize the chances of snuffing out Covid-19 for good:

Investigators did not seek a search warrant for Woods’ blood samples, which could be screened for drugs and alcohol. In 2017, Woods checked himself into a clinic for help in dealing with prescription drug medication after a DUI charge in his home state of Florida. Detectives, however, did obtain a search warrant for the data recorder of the 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV, known as a black box. Villanueva would not say Wednesday what data had been found in the black box.

Knowledgeable Christians and Jews know that Easter falls at the Jewish holiday because Christ was in Jerusalem with the twelve Apostles to observe Passover, and that the Last Supper Christians observe in Holy Communion and celebrate on Maundy Thursday was a Seder meal commemorating the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. After the meal, from which Judas Iscariot exited to collect his thirty silver coins, Jesus retired to the garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed until arrested by Roman soldiers. Until not so long ago, one television network or another played the classic film, The Ten Commandments, every year about...

After January’s explosive drama, the battle for digital control of American life is now proceeding quietly, by soft degrees. The shock of 1/6 has morphed into a pretext for something still more consequential: a new phase of national crisis wherein corporations with strategic control over Americans’ communications enforce a creeping line of censorship against critics of the sitting regime. While online platforms claim only to be applying their terms of service in neutral fashion, those terms themselves stink of delegitimization. Once this shadow falls upon you and your account, you are as good as deactivated. You know this; you know...

[P]reviously unknown brain disease amid a string of cases involving memory loss, hallucinations and muscle atrophy. The majority of cases are linked to the Acadian peninsula, a sparsely populated region in the north-eastern part of the province. The overall number of cases in the cluster remains low but New Brunswick has a population of fewer than 800,000 people. Health officials have refused to disclose the precise locations of the cases. For more than a year public health officials have been tracking a “cluster” of 43 cases of suspected neurological disease in the province with no known cause. Residents first learned...

On the menu today: A CNN news writer asserts that we can’t know a child’s “gender identity” at birth In an article reporting on Kristi Noem’s decision to veto the “Fairness in Girls’ Sports” bill, CNN breaking-news reporter Devan Cole claimed yesterday that there’s no way to determine a child’s “gender identity” at birth. “It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth,” Cole asserted, in a statement better fit for an unhinged opinion article than a news article by a breaking-news reporter. In fact, as most...

The White House released a fact sheet of President Joe Biden’s proposed $2.5 trillion infrastructure bill on Wednesday, detailing his multi-billion-dollar spending priorities. (list below in first comment. Not much detailing)

Just me scratching my head trying to figure out what's going on.... What has happened: Release covid Make it a "pandemic" even though the death rate is < .01% Use the fake pandemic to push control, steal the US Election among others, lockdowns, mask mandates, etc... Use ill-gotten new power push vaccine that is designed for yet-to-be-released virus Mandate new vaccine for all people deemed necessary to survive the next virus release Once vaccination threshold achieved What’s to come: Release new virus - New virus kills most non-vaccinated people 95% +/- and vaccinated 0.5-5% Just a guess Use new virus...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Wednesday the Biden’s administration’s infrastructure bill is “like a Trojan horse.” “It’s called infrastructure, but inside the Trojan horse, it’s going to be more borrowed money and massive tax increases on all the productive parts of our economy,” McConnell reiterated. “It’s like a Trojan horse.”

New York State legalized marijuana for recreational use on Wednesday, making it the 15th state in the country to do so. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed the legislation on Wednesday, which creates “automatic expungement of previous marijuana convictions that would now be legal.” The Democrat governor described it as a “historic day.”

Before Time, Before the Earth Was Made, Before Matter and Being and History: Hillary Clinton (Lucifer, Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, Prince of Darkness, Satan, She Whose Many Names the Cats Scream in the Night) is cast out of heaven for overweening hubris. She is condemned to lie in eternal torment in a lake of fire surrounded by her fallen angels, or, alternatively, to run for a major office while female. For thousands of years she lies outside time, smelling of sulfur, before deciding to undertake the second option.

You read everywhere about how unfair it is for our American children to be out of the classroom due to teachers' strikes and governors' policy. Well, maybe instead, we should be counting our blessings! How do you think we've gotten to this situation of woeness and socialism? In the classroom! It is taught on every level and many textbooks make sure the children learn the 'lesson" by using rewritten history to change the narrative and remove the truth from our children's ears. While I know that they can still learn this online through virtual school settings, the parents have a...

A 41-year-old Scottish woman who received a COVID-19 vaccine broke out in a severe rash that has left her in agony more than two weeks after her fateful jab, according to a report.

Social Security recipients and other Americans who do not normally file a tax return can expect their stimulus payments to be processed this weekend, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday. Many of the payments will be sent electronically and will be in bank accounts by April 7. Though the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began issuing the third stimulus payments in mid-March, deposits for an estimated 30 million people who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income and Railroad Retirement benefits have been delayed because the Social Security Administration (SSA) lagged in sending the IRS the information it needed. The IRS received the...

This wasn’t supposed to happen. We were promised that 2021 would be the year when things would turn around because the vaccines would bring the COVID pandemic to an end. Hundreds of millions of doses have already been administered all over the globe, and millions more are being administered with each passing day. But the pandemic is not ending. The number of confirmed cases is now escalating dramatically, and the head of the CDC says that she is “scared” of what is ahead. At a time when the number of confirmed cases should theoretically be going down steadily, we are...
